Concussions frequently occur alongside neck injuries, especially in car accidents, sports collisions, and falls. Even a mild concussion can leave patients dealing with headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and neck stiffness for weeks or months afterward. At Integrated Chiropractic, we evaluate the cervical spine for the misalignments and soft tissue damage that so often accompany a head injury, since untreated neck dysfunction can slow concussion recovery and prolong symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome
- Persistent headaches
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
- Fatigue
Our Treatment Approach
Treatment plans are built around each patient’s specific symptoms and typically combine gentle chiropractic instrument adjusting, myofascial release, and corrective exercises to restore normal neck function and reduce nervous system irritation. Many concussion patients also experience headaches and neck pain, which we treat alongside the concussion itself for a more complete recovery.
Concussions From Car Accidents and Personal Injury
Concussions are one of the most common injuries following car accidents. If your concussion resulted from an accident, our office also supports personal injury patients with the documentation needed for insurance or legal claims, while keeping your recovery the top priority.
